This is by far one of the most unique areas of Oahu, where you were able to visit both the North Shore and South Shores in an hour drive. The private beach location was extremely unique, to be able to walk out the door to the water. We saw plenty of sea turtles and even a harmless shark. Janet provides all the things needed for beach fun, as well. While we were there, there was a lot of construction going on, which we were warned about just a few days before arriving. The work was mid-day, but made parking a little difficult, and some strong smells in the morning. One thing to note, is that this is more of a studio style condo, and the most comfort for sleeping would be the living room futon. The portable AC unit wasn't working for us, which we let Jan know, and tried leaving the condo doors open, but could not get enough breeze to come through - and the mid-day/night downpours would often get things pretty wet. Overall, Janet has everything you need to enjoy the beach and the location is 5 stars. If you're doing Oahu the right way, you should be gone during the day and have the evenings to enjoy the beach, then have a roof over your head.
